Good grief! I can see that this time next year there will be no tree because of all the bleeding hearts.
The pro-palestine gangs (formerly blm, formerly antifa) will be at the tree lighting. Stay safe, be aware.
That tree is so brave! He stood his ground when those murderous loggers came.
Beautiful 80' tree gracing the earth is murdered for the "enjoyment" of humans for a few weeks. Just too sad for words. How these people could look at that beautiful tree in their yard and think it would be a good idea to slaughter it for a few minutes of fame is very, very difficult to fathom. Not even from a tree farm. Time for an artificial tree, people.
Beautiful family, but very archaic tradition. Plus the money the City has to spend on Security. All these years they could have just grown a tree on that spot.
Is the tree a donation or do the owners get compensation?
Genesis through Deuteronomy 34 only guys
Can’t they get a very large fake tree for RC and stop killing these beautiful trees for a one month display. Geez.😢
😂😂😂😂❤ it couldn’t happen to a better brain dead troll then joe Biden
Can i have the tree when its over for fire wood in Bidens inflation poverty economy.
They WH's tree fell flat – crashed to the ground. Perfect metaphor for what the WH is doing to our country.
killed a living thing that was old and doing well. For what? I can understand when special farms grow trees that are specifically used for Christmas decorations. But to cut down such a tree that had nothing to do with the business? Feels too much.
Americans are sick and tired of the media propaganda reporting that everything is just fine and normal. It’s not and it won’t be until the current administration is gone.
Cool American family 🇺🇸
Time to leave the democrat plantation forever‼️
Son is like let’s remember mom by cutting down the tree. Now they have a stump to look at.
It is a Yule tree. It has nothing to do with Christmas. And it is GLORIOUS! 🎄🎄🎄🎄
Update: Authorities are still looking for the man posing as the rockkafella gardener
Merry Christmas 🎄
Its time for Rockefeller to replace the tree with a sculpture.
Poor tree. Tree was living its best life.
I wonder how much they got paid for that tree
Luke 5:21-24
And the scribes and the Pharisees began to reason, saying, Who is this which speaks blasphemies? Who can forgive sins, but God alone? But when Jesus perceived their thoughts, he answering said unto them, What reason you in your hearts? Whether is easier, to say, Thy sins be forgiven thee; or to say, Rise up and walk? But that you may know that the Son of man has power upon earth to forgive sins, ( he said unto the sick of the palsy,)
I say unto thee, Arise, and take thy couch, and go into thy house.
I feel bad for the tree. So Majestic!!
I wish there are more artists, musicians, and people who love and appreciate arts, designs, singing, dancing, performing musical instruments, do arts & crafts instead of people who are hungry for money, power, control freaks, killers, and destroyers!
A story about the story behind the tree, really?

Joe Biden is destroying America 🇺🇸
Despite the Economy break down I was able to earn $9000 while being home with the help of Mrs Evelyn , she is really a miracle worker thank you Mrs Evelyn
O'keefe media group is stellar journalism.
Beautiful tree, beautiful tradition… beautiful song.
What a beautiful family. I'm glad their tree was chosen. My condolences to the son. I could still hear the pain in his voice when he talked about his mother. Peace and blessings to the family.
Why?
Anything with the name Rockefeller attached to it is junk
There are no Christians in NY
Democrats have completely DESTROYED New York
They are only going to burn it down like they done in the past.
Meanwhile in Islamic medias they're planning something big like oct 7
WOULDN'T TRUST NBC FOR ANYTHING BUT THIS BEAUTIFUL GLORIOUS TREE .. SACRFICED ITS LIFE FOR PEOPLE OF OUR WORLD..FOR CHRISTS..BIRTH…
80 YEAR OLD FROM THE TOPS OF THE MOUNTAINS ISAIAH 2
